    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Michelle Lee Talal for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science presented on May 7, 2019 Title: Exploring Urban Parks: Plant Communities, Visitor Experiences, and Manager Perspectives in Portland, Oregon Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Mary V. Santelmann Urban parks are biodiversity hotspots within cities and have the potential to provide a range of socio-cultural benefits for people, but may not always meet the needs and desires of park visitors. A variety of land use practices and environmental factors affect urban park biodiversity and vegetation structure, composition, and ecological function, but more studies are needed to compare plant taxonomic composition, biodiversity patterns, and species traits across different types of urban green spaces. Additionally, there is a lack of research that explores park user experiences, vegetation perceptions, and accessibility issues in a range of urban park types interspersed throughout Portland using qualitative methods to observe and interview visitors on-site. More research is also needed that focuses on interviewing park managers about their perspectives on park benefits and management. The findings of my interdisciplinary dissertation may assist managers in their aims to achieve various ecological goals, as well as meet the needs and desires of park visitors within increasingly developed urban areas. The purpose of this research is three-fold, and includes examining: 1) The relationships between plant community composition, biodiversity patterns, environmental variables, and species traits in a range of urban parks in Portland, Oregon; 2) how the vegetation in these urban parks currently meets the needs and desires of visitors; and 3) how park managers currently manage vegetation in the parks to meet the needs and desires of visitors.

  • Portland's Delineated Stream Desert
    The City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services collects water quality and habitat data by subwatershed in Stream Burial: Patterns and Impacts multiple capacities. The data represented below was collected in monthly grab samples between 2008 and 2016. Upstream samples were taken from open channels in environmental protection or conservation areas. Downstream samples were taken from pipes, culverts, or outfalls. For each stream in the study, the downstream reaches are considered to be heavily “For more than two hours yesterday Johnson and Tanner Creeks were turned from their beds, and poured their yellow torrents altered by development. The figures below indicate average upstream and downstream values and the difference between through paved streets, filling cellars of some of the fine residents along the foot of the hill, tearing deep ruts in gutter drains, them. Stream burial is a common pattern of urban development that originated in the late 1800s with early overturning wooden sidewalks, and temporarily impeding street traffic in many places. So great was the volume of water that people Tanner Creek is piped from its headwaters in a conservation zone to its confluence at milepost 11 in the Willamette River. urbanization. Over the last 150 years, stream channels across urban areas have been altered, buried, and generally thought that the costly sewers that were built to swallow up the troublesome creeks, had burst, and preparations were in Tanner Creek runs in pipes directly under Portland’s urban core and has cultural importance as one of the city’s most diverted, creating riverless urban centers called urban stream deserts (Napieralski et al., 2015).

  • Stephens Creek Stormwater System Plan
    BUREAU OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES • CITY OF PORTLAND Stephens Creek Stormwater System Plan n January 2013 Dan Saltzman, Commissioner Dean Marriott, Director DAN SALTZMAN, COMMISSIONER • DEAN MARRIOTT, DIRECTOR January 2013 RE: Stephens Creek Stormwater System Plan Dear Readers, The Bureau of Environmental Services is pleased to publish the Stephens Creek Stormwater System Plan. It is the result of a multi‐year pilot to analyze and put forth recommendations to improve both stormwater infrastructure and watershed health conditions in the Stephens Creek watershed. We are excited to report that the exercise was successful and that the lessons learned will inform the citywide approach to stormwater system planning. While Portland emphasizes managing stormwater at the source, Stephens Creek and conditions in southwest Portland challenge this approach. A system perspective is necessary to characterize overall condition and performance in order to tailor stormwater improvements and requirements to meet system needs. This approach will apply to other parts of the city where different challenges exist, and it will inform the next Stormwater Management Manual update. Understanding that the health and growth of our community depends on infrastructure, our charge is to find ways stormwater infrastructure can serve multiple functions and benefits. Infrastructure that filters, collects, conveys, and discharges stormwater is a visible part of our community, and its appearance contributes to the character of an area. Rather than burying stormwater and sending the problems downstream, we benefit by exposing it to air and plants, allowing it to recharge groundwater, and create spaces that support parks, transportation and other community needs. Broad and complex interests have a stake in the stormwater system.

  • Natural Areas Restoration Plan October 2010
    Natural Areas Restoration Plan October 2010 Update: March 2015 Natural Areas Restoration Plan Update March 18, 2015 Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) completed the first system wide Natural Areas Restoration Plan (plan) in October 2010. The plan was completed as a requirement for Salmon Safe certification. It established restoration goals and strategies, management priorities and implementation actions. It is currently used to set restoration priorities (staff effort and funding) for natural areas. The plan stated that there would be a review and update every 3-5 years. The 2014 update modified the functional methodology and revised the weighting to remove the emphasis on salmonids and their habitat needs. The 2014 Natural Area Management Priority Matrix changes are based on the updated natural resource function methodology and ecological health determined by the best professional judgment of the ecologist managing the site. The goals, strategies and implementation actions remain the same. This updates also includes the natural area properties purchased since 2010. Methodology Update The methodology update evaluated additional functions and created a new weighting system. The original plan weighted functions associated with salmon habitat the highest while this update does not. Some of the updated functions were assigned weighted scores on a scale of 3 (high) to 1 (low) similar to the scoring used in the 2010 plan. A natural area was also given points for Terrestrial Ecology Enhancement Strategy (TEES) special status habitats and City of Portland At-Risk Species. The functions included are: (see attached memo for details): Streams: Perennial, non-perennial and within 100 feet of the natural area.

  • Homelessness/Urban Camping Impact Reduction Update
    Greetings- This week, we received 463 new campsite reports identifying roughly 105 campsites throughout the City. Of these new reports, 96 were of people living in vehicles. Additionally, 152 of the reports we received this week were reports of camping on Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) properties and rights- of-way, 7 were of camping on Union Pacific or BNSF rights-of-way, and 16 were regarding camping on private properties. Please note, in the event of a Severe Winter Weather Declaration, the City will not require people to move during campsite cleanups. Sites that have been posted will be cleared of any trash and/or bio-hazard material during the severe weather, but occupants will not be required to move until the Severe Winter Weather Declaration has been lifted. Sites that have been posted but not completely cleaned due to the weather, will be reposted and cleaned in the coming weeks. Severe Weather criteria: The Joint Office, as well as Multnomah County and Portland Emergency Management, use the following criteria to determine when conditions pose a danger to exposed vulnerable people. Any one of the criteria below will result in a Severe Weather Notice if the conditions are forecasted to persist for four (4) hours or more during what would be severe weather shelter operating hours (8pm-7am): 1. Forecasted temperature of 25° F (-3.9° C) or below. 2. Forecasted snow accumulations of 1.0 inch or more sticking to the ground in most locations. 3. Forecasted temperature at or below 32° F (0° C) with driving rain of 1.0 inch or more overnight.
